MPX G2 Program Descriptions

Programs 40 and 46-49 use the pitch shifter to produce harmony effects. All of the effects except Overdrive are in the effects loop. (Because the pitch effects are first, you can use the pedal to “float” notes into the delay and reverb.A/B) alternates between two harmony settings. Tap sets the delay rhythm.

40 PitchCascade

This special effect is created by putting a dual pitch shifter in the feedback loop of a dual delay. Tap sets the delay rhythm. After going through the delay, the notes are pitch shifted. (A/B selects between up a fifth/down an octave and down a fourth/up an octave.) Then the pitch-shifted notes are recirculated through the delay and pitch-shifted again. The recirculation is controlled by the XFbk1 and XFbk2 parameters. (They’re in the Soft Row along with delay time and other goodies.)

46 Octaves

Use the pedal to fade two additional harmony voices in and out. A/B alternates between tunings. A=one octave up (doubled). B=one octave down and two octaves down.

47 4ths & 5ths

Play power chords from single notes — with your note on the top or bottom of the chord. A/B alternates between tunings. A=up a fith and up an octave. B=down a fourth and down an octave.

48 E Maj/Min 3

Tune up and play melodies in the Key of E. The DiatonicHmy effect automatically harmonizes your notes in thirds. Use A/B to alternate between E Major and E Minor (Aeolian). You can change to any other key by adjusting the value of the Key parameter

— you’ll find it in the Soft Row.

49 E Dor/Mix 3

In this program the DiatonicHmy effect is set to produce 3rds in E Dorian (same as E major with b3 and b7 ) or E Mixolydian (same as E major with b7). Change keys with the Key parameter in the Soft Row.
